The Ship of Brides

Journey along the actual voyage from Australia to England in 1946 by HMS Victorious. This ship was a transport ship for some of the last Australian war brides to leave Australia, young women who had married British servicemen serving in Australia during the war, taking them to their husbands and new homes in the UK. The story is woven around four young women from vastly different backgrounds who are brought together through having to share a cabin for the journey.
